[K12OSN] ssh and a wierd problem. . .

[Petre Scheie]

I'm seeing something similar: ssh to FC1 (k12ltsp 4.0.1) via LAN is 
fine, but coming from outside through firewall stalls for...let's 
see...roughly two minutes and fifteen seconds after I've entered my 
password.  After that time elapses, I finally get a prompt.  Or if I'm 
impatient, Ctrl-C will drop me to a bare prompt.  My kludge workaround 
has been then to run '. .bashrc'.  I just figured it was the firewall 
blocking something.  But it happens no matter where I connect from, 
although it doesn't happen on other sites that I connect to.  This 
problem site has just the one box.  My source address won't resolve to a 
name though, but that doesn't explain why other sites I connect to don't 
have the same problem.  My home webserver is also FC1 but not K12ltsp 
and it does not have this problem.
